1. The Secret Life of Pets held onto the number 1 spot for the second consecutive weekend.
2. Despite getting good reviews, Ghostbusters (2016), had a fairly disappointing weekend and it may not break even which it would need to make $450 million worldwide to break even and it only made $61 million this weekend.
3. Despite having a 2 day head start, The Infiltrator completely bombed at the box office and it will be a commercial failure.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Independence Day: Resurgence as it made 54.7% less than it did last weekend.
5. I went 4 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Star Trek Beyond $85 Million
2. Ice Age: Collision Course $30 Million
1. Star Trek Beyond $85 Million

3. Lights Out $20 Million
4. The Secret Life of Pets $19 Million
4. The Secret Life of Pets $19 Million
5. Ghostbuster (2016) $15 Million
